No, an ion is any atom or group atoms with a net positive or negative electric charge.
Metals can form ions, but compounds contain metal ions are known as metal salts, not metals.
In their pure "metallic" form metals exists as neutral atoms.

Is bromate a metal?
No, bromate is not a metal, but is an ion
When one metal ion shares electrons with other metal ion what is it?
Part of a metallically bonded substance.
When one metal ion shares electrons with anthor metal ion it is called?
Metal ions do not share electrons with one another. Metal ions have a positive charge.
When a metal becomes a ion what is its net charge?
This depends on each metal.
Define complex ion and give two examples?
A complex ion is an ion that contains a metal cation binded to one or more small molecules or ions.
What is a metal ion?
A metal ion is an ion made out of metal. the metal ion in Na 2 S is Sodium
An ionic bond is the attration between?
A non-metal ion and a metal ion
Is sulfate a metal?
Sulfate is a negative ion with the formula SO42- in order to balance the charge there needs to be a positive ion, which usually is a metal ion, but not always. However, the sulfate ion itself is not a metal nor does it contain a metal.
What is metal ion toxicity?
The metal ion toxicity refers to the certain forms and doses of the metal ions on life.
Are there any metal elements in salt?
All inorganic salts are composed of a metal ion (or an ammonium ion) and an acid radical ion. Table salt for example is composed of a sodium ion and a chlorine ion (the radical ion of hydrochloric acid).Organic salts (called esters) may or may not contain a metal ion. Organic salts that do not contain a metal ion, its role is taken by an alkaloid radical ion.
What compound consist of a positive metal ion and a negative metal ion?
sodiumtetrahydoxylaluminate(Na(alOH4))
Is iodine a metal or non-metal and what ion does it form?
Iodine is a nonmetal and it forms the iodide ion, I-.
Is bromate a metal?
No, bromate is not a metal, but is an ion
What compound is MgBr2?
An ionic compound, as it contains a metal ion "Mg2+" and a non metal ion "Br-".
When one metal ion shares electrons with other metal ion what is it?
Part of a metallically bonded substance.
Is phosphate a metal?
Phosphate is an ion with the formula PO43-. The 3- indicates the charge on the ion. This ion consists of the pnonmetals phosphorus and oxygen. The negative ion must be paired with a positive ion to form an actual substance. That ion is usually a metal ion. So phosphate itself is not a metal but many phosphate compounds contain metals.
Is gold an ion?
Gold is a metal, but it can form the Au3+ ion.
